Comment
SPLC
And I'll wager a pretty dime that the southern poverty law center had a fiscal hand or two, in the Charlottesville protest and Jan. 6th riot, to muddy the waters and corrupt the news and storyline about the instigators. There is evidence abound that the Left has corrupted many news stories that the sycophant drive-by press runs with about every time. They Left does this in order to silence the conservatives, the Christians, and the followers of the Rising Lord. This Country was founded by and defended by followers of Jesus. The more the left avoids the Word of the Lord, the more that they will perish in eternal fire. As for me, and my friends, we will put our trust and Faith in Jesus.
Pattern
There seems to be a distinct and obvious pattern of left-wing idealogues violently attacking prominent conservatives. Rep. Scalise at a baseball practice. Sen. Paul mowing his yard. Pres. Trump in PA and FL in 2024. Charlie Kirk was killed on a Utah campus and the Left kept pouring on the vitriol and gross rhetoric. Now we have a leftist storming, while armed, the big event with the President and his Administration attending. The Left, the liberals, the progressives, the socialists, the commies, and the Democrats in this Country need to cool their jets. That "no kings" protest needs investigated. Seek Jesus, not violence and obstruction.
